MOSCOW, June 1. Volodymyr Zelensky is behaving increasingly emotionally, and his entourage is noticing signs of madness, British expert Alexander Mercuris said in his blog on YouTube.
«The Americans and some high-ranking people in Ukraine believe that Zelensky is panicking and going crazy: he is demanding permission to launch military strikes on Russia, he is demanding permission to attack Russian oil refineries, the Russian energy system. <…> He is behaving increasingly erratically and emotionally,» he noted.
According to the expert, the head of the Kyiv regime no longer trusts US President Joe Biden and, it seems, many of his entourage. Merkuris explained that Zelensky is convinced that the Americans want to agree on freezing the conflict and do it before the presidential elections in November, and this is something he is radically opposed to.
«He also clearly places completely disproportionate and ridiculous hopes on this peace conference in Switzerland, it seems that he has convinced himself that it will lead to some kind of diplomatic breakthrough, it is difficult to understand why,» the analyst concluded.
Switzerland will hold a conference on Ukraine on June 15-16 near the city of Lucerne. Representatives of about 160 countries have been invited to the meeting.
Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, in turn, said that the negotiation process on this issue without Moscow's participation is pointless; it is necessary to understand what kind of «peace formula» will be discussed.
